Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 100 milliliters Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Oil
• 250 grams Paneer (cottage cheese)
• 1 piece Green chili
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt (for filling)
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper powder
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 1 small Onion
• 50 grams Cabbage
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Finely chop the paneer, green chili, ginger, onion, and cabbage. Add them into a bowl.

Step 3

To the paneer mixture, add salt, black pepper powder, soy sauce, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Using a rolling pin, roll each piece into a thin circle approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Place about a tablespoon of the paneer filling in the center of each rolled-out circle.

Step 6

Gently bring the edges together, folds them over one another, and pinch to seal into a pleated shape.

Step 7

Heat a steamer and arrange the momos on the tray. Ensure they do not touch and have space in between.

Step 8

Steam the momos for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is no longer sticky and appears translucent.

Step 9

Serve the paneer momos hot with your choice of spicy chutney.
